YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The US Coast Guard boarded a fifth oil tanker, the Olina, which was sanctioned by the U.S. for its role in transporting Russian oil.

The seizures are being used by the US to exert pressure on Venezuela's interim government and take the so-called dark fleet of tankers out of operation.

The moves to seize tankers are also meant to signal to Russia, China and Iran that they shouldn't ally themselves with Caracas or flout US sanctions.
